The present case report highlights about management of taurodontism which is a developmental anomaly characterized by the lack of constriction at the level of the cementoenamel junction, vertically elongated pulp chambers and apical displacement of the pulpal floor. Permanent molar teeth are commonly affected teeth. Its morphology might hamper the location of orifices and can create difficultie...

Recognition of aberrant root canal configurations is critical to successfully negotiate and treat a one such aberrancies C shape system. The fins webs present in system presents challenge debridement obturation. Knowledge variations through advanced imaging modalities like CBCT, rotary hand instruments assisted with ultrasonics modified obturation techniques aid effective management shaped cana...

Pulpal and periradicular pathosis are the result of microbial, mechanical, or chemical invasion. Microorganisms are the main irritants of pulpal and periapical tissues. The goal of the obturation is to obtain a fluid-tight seal of the root canal system from its coronal aspect through its apical extent to preserve from the irritants.. Root apices have morphological irregularities in teeth with p...

INTRODUCTION A mandatory requirement of root canal therapy is that the obturation and restoration of the tooth must seal the root canals both apically and coronally to prevent leakage and percolation of oral fluids and to prevent recontamination of disinfected canals. Apicoectomy (apicectomy/root-end resection) with retrograde obturation is a widely applied procedure in endodontics, when all ef...

This clinical trial focused on collating the instrumentation time and quality of root canal obturation in primary molars treated with three techniques: adaptive, rotary, manual. A triple-armed, randomized controlled was performed 75 requiring pulpectomy treatment, divided into groups (n = 25 per group). The teeth Group 1 were instrumented an adaptive technique (XP-endo Shaper, FKG Dentaire, La ...

the aim of this study was to introduce modified continuous wave compaction (mcwc) technique and compare its obturation quality with that of lateral compaction (lc), warm vertical compaction (wvc) and continuous wave compaction techniques (cwc). the obturation time was also compared among the four techniques.sixty-four single-rooted teeth with 0-5° root canal curve and 64 artificially created ro...

Long-term success of endodontic treatment is strictly dependent on proper shaping and cleaning of the root canal system followed by obturation of entire prepared space. Anatomical variations should be considered during radiographic and clinical evaluation as parts of endodontic treatment. A mandibular premolar with three canals is quite rare and such a tooth requires special canal preparation a...

Three clinical cases involving teeth with open apices and apical periodontitis were treated using different protocols. The first case was managed with intracanal calcium hydroxide paste for 12 months before obturation with gutta-percha and sealer. In the second case, an apical plug of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was used before obturation with gutta-percha and sealer and treatment was comp...

Resilon is a thermoplastic synthetic polymer-based endodontic material alternative to gutta-percha. It contains bioactive glass and also radiopaque fillers. It has the same handling properties as gutta-percha. For endodontic retreatment, it may be dissolved with some solvents, such as chloroform or softened with heat. The composition of Resilon and its sealer (Epiphany) bond to dentin and form ...
